Tomato, red onion and coriander salad



6 plum / roma tomatoes; sliced into round slices
1 small or 1/2 medium or 1/3 large red onion, sliced
1/2 cup chopped coriander
1 lime juiced
1 table spoon olive oil
salt to taste.

1. Mix the sliced tomoatoes, onions and coriander
2. add dressing made with lime juice, olive oil and salt (put in a small bottle and shake)

this is a really refreshing salad, I make it all the time, but when I made it in Edmonton, everyone was asking for the recipe - so here it is people!
Sometimes I leave out the dressing and just add a little salt.

I know this tastes fabulous! Sometimes you can just mix with rice and eat it. When it is stored for a while,it gets juicy!:)

This must be what you meant when you spoke of Swahili influence. We call it kachumbari and it's an East African favourite.

NO! Actually cachumber is of Indian origin, a salad of fresh tomatoes, cucumber and red onions
This recipe is the indian influence on East African cooking.
